Granting access to student information, for what purpose, and to whom, is rarely a simple decision. Academic records have long been critical to the functioning of a university, but leveraging institutional data has become increasingly important (Lester, et al. 2017). Data stewards in higher education institutions nationwide confront a…

Kilgore, Wendy – College and University, 2020
2019 was a bit different from previous years for the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) Research. Since they had six larger-scale research projects (of which several were calendared over the summer months), they did not want to overly burden their members with surveys. This resulted in four 60-Second…

Gibbens, Brian; Williams, Mary A.; Strain, Anna K.; Hoff, Courtney D. M. – College and University, 2015
Curricula at most colleges and universities in the United States are scheduled according to quarters or semesters.

This study compares biology student performance during the two and a half years before and after the 1999…
